Workshops

Looking to educate your class, group or peers about what CFMDC distribution looks like?

We offer distribution workshops for emerging artists who are looking to disseminate their works to national or international markets. With an emphasis on how CFMDC functions, our workshops overview how an artist-run non profit distribution centre functions, tips for editing your film, national standards for screening fees for artist payment and commercial vs. artist run distribution.

To book a workshop contact Genne (genne@cfmdc.org) or Morgan (morgan@cfmdc.org).
